Information fusion from multiple sensors ensures the accuracy and robustness of a navigation system, especially in the absence of global positioning system (GPS) data which gets degraded in many cases. A way to deal with multi-mode estimation for a small fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) localization framework is proposed, which depends on utilizing a Luenberger observer-based linear mat...

Through the comparison and analysis of some recent patents on the fault-tolerant designed method, this paper addresses the problem of robust guaranteed cost fault-tolerant for nonlinear networked control systems (NNCS) with network-induced delay and packed dropout. Firstly, we adopt observer and state-feedback control strategy, wherein states are immeasurable. Then, by constructing appropriate ...

In this paper, an observer-based fuzzy adaptive controller for nonlinear systems with unknown control gain sign is investigated. Because the system states are not available for measurement, a tracking-error observer is constructed. In this controller, the adaptive fuzzy system is used to approximate the unknown nonlinearities and the Nussbaum function is incorporated to deal with the unknown co...

Exploiting dynamic scaling and homogeneity in the bi-limit, we developp a new class of high gain observers which incorporate a gain update law and nonlinear output error injection terms. A broader class of systems can be addressed and the observer gain is better fitted to the incremental rate of the nonlinearities. The expected improved performance is illustrated.

We introduce a new method for the design of observers for nonlinear systems using backstepping. The method is applicable to a class of nonlinear systems slighter larger than those treated by Gauthier, Hammouri, and Othman [IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, 27 (1992), pp. 875– 880]. They presented an observer design method that is globally convergent using high gain. In contrast to theirs, our obser...

This paper presents a comparison study of performances and characteristics of three advanced state observers, including the high-gain observers, the sliding-mode observers and the extended state observers. These observers were originally proposed to address the dependence of the classical observers, such as the Kalman Filter and the Luenberger Observer, on the accurate mathematical representati...
